Man Makes 3D Thunder Cloud Ceiling That Flashes Like Lightning

Using a peel and stick strand of color-changing LED lights, Paschoal begins his cloud ceiling by winding lights in a snaking path around his room. Mimicking the sharp-cornered shapes of lighting, once lit and covered the path will flash and glow like a real lightning bolt.

Gluing bags (and bags) of loose cotton to the ceiling, Paschoal mimics the puffy texture of clouds, trailing the shapes over the strand of LED lights. Allowing some areas to stay thinner than others, he then builds up bulk around the rest of the ceiling until the entire room is covered with the puffy substance.

Turning the lights on to test it out, the final result is absolutely mesmerizing, flashing and streaking through the LED's automatic strobe light setting. Explaining that "the whole process took about 5ish hours", Paschoal's comment section is full of fans admiring his work and marveling over its realistic appearance.

Though many people love the DIY, others wonder about fire safety, cleaning, and the collection of spiders. Paschoal reassures commenters that he lives high up in a new apartment building so bugs are minimal. Even so, another commenter recommends spraying peppermint oil across the surface to dissuade nosey spiders.
